Le Petit Cheval Blanc 2023 is a white Bordeaux blend from the Saint-Émilion appellation, crafted from a base of Sauvignon Blanc. This wine is sourced from the limestone-heavy soils of the plateau, which impart a piercing mineral character and significant structural tension to the wine. It offers a bright, focused profile of grapefruit, lime blossom, flint and white peach, with a sharp, vibrant acidity and a persistent, mineral-driven finish. The winemaking team at Cheval Blanc focuses on a precise approach to élevage, which preserves the inherent aromatic transparency of the fruit and the distinct, saline character of the plateau’s limestone soils.
